In a roundabout way, I got robbed

But seriously, the only thing I give is food if I have it. People ask me all the time around where I live for money. Holyoke, Massachusetts and the outlying areas are kind of poor. I see this all the time. I feel bad for them, but you know there's the people who just want their crack/booz money or are making a living off of it. Though, you can usually tell the difference between a hungry guy and shivering crackhead. XD

I once saw a guy in a city ten miles from my town panhandling and I swear the next day he was at my work in MY town asking for change... ten miles away. granted, he could've walked, but I've seen him all over the place. I really feel like this guy isn't poor and makes a killing off asking people for money.

I know it's fun to give money to people who are honest about their boozin' habits, but doesn't that make you an enabler?

So? I'd want the same thing if I was in his position.

[Darkfox]

XD!!! I chuckled at this.

You are probably right, I think there are people who go out dressed like beggars (as in, wear old clothes and worn out stuff) but are actually not poor at all and making money off sympathetic people.

[drenrin2120]

Yeah, I've heard about people doing that. He came in where I work once with a crummy old folder and tried selling us what amounted to MSPaint doodles printed out on sheet paper for like 50 cents each. He said it was just some art he had done and was trying to kickstart his career. This is the same guy who can teleport all around western Massachusetts.

ALSO, this.

I have long hair, only black clothes, I walk slightly slouched over like a Troll from WoW but not as much, and I look pretty pissed usually while walking alone. No one ever asks me for anything.

[Valiere]

Is that guy seriously in the middle of the damn street?

"Betcha can't hit me with a quarter!" *school bus'd*

"Betcha can't hit me with a quarter!" *school bus'd*

Followed by a man covered in welts buying a feast at McDonald's.

[fruckert]

I'd throw a penny at him.

[Archem]

You'd be an asshat. Also, hey, we totally posted at the same time.

[Darkfox]

I dunno. I mean...

As Benjamin Franklin once said: "A penny saved is a thousand burned." or something like that...

Very well aware of this.
Latter part has actually happened quite a bit lately.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

How about people that SELL stuff?

How about people that SELL stuff?

People in robes, mysterious raspy voiced strangers who ask "what are ya buyin"?
